Songtsm Travel Hotel Jiuzhai / Thinking Design

Text description supplied by the architects. On a 3,000-meter-high ridge in Jiuzhaigou lies a micro-village of simply eight wood cabins—China’s smallest administrative village. It seems pinned in opposition to the sky by the wind, coexisting with clouds, fir bushes, and rocky terrain. Now, we’re tasked with reworking this distinctive website right into a resort. Design right here just isn’t about “renovation,” however about “recalling”: recalling the reminiscences sealed throughout the land, the breath hidden within the mountain forests and timber, and the traces of time buried within the layered mountains. Let aged wooden be rekindled, let outdated homes rise once more, let mountain springs sing as soon as extra. Let each piece of outdated timber return to the slopes, and let each crack inform the story of wind and frost.
